Surface technology -- computer touch screens that can detect gestures -- is no longer science fiction. Its found in an albeit crude form in devices such as the iPhone and the newest Zune. However, Microsoft has even bigger plans to deploy new surface technologies.

Microsoft, which believes the technology will be as game-changing as the mouse unveiled its "Surface" computer last year. The impressive computer was able scan barcodes, move onscreen objects with tactile finger gestures, and respond to multiple simultaneous inputs, ie. multiple people touching its surface with more than on finger. Microsoft plans on such tactile technologies to be key part of its upcoming Windows 7 operating system, the successor to Vista set to launch in 2010.
